Chicken Cutlets with Mushroom Sauce Recipe

Prep/Total Time: 25 min.

Yield: 4 Servings

5 20 25

Ingredients

4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (4 ounces each)
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper, divided
2 teaspoons butter
2 tablespoons chopped green onion
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 cups sliced fresh mushrooms
1/2 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
1-1/2 teaspoons minced fresh tarragon or 1/2 teaspoon dried tarragon
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1/4 cup red wine or additional reduced-sodium chicken broth
2 to 3 drops browning sauce, optional

Directions

Pound chicken to 1/4-in. thickness. Sprinkle both sides with salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. In a large nonstick skillet, cook chicken for 4-5 minutes on each side or until juices run clear.
Meanwhile, in a saucepan, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Add the green onion and garlic; saute for 2 minutes. Add the mushrooms and cook until tender, about 2 minutes. Stir in the broth, tarragon and remaining pepper. Cook over medium heat until mushrooms are tender.
In a small bowl, combine the cornstarch and wine or additional broth until smooth. Stir into the mushroom mixture. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Stir in browning sauce if desired. Serve sauce over chicken. Yield: 4 servings.
